Gates Bows Out Late
Level 17
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
As the night is starting to wind down, the short stacks are left with the choice of getting their chips in the middle to double up, or come back tomorrow and re-enter. That was the predicament Garry Gates found himself in with just a little over 10 big blinds.
Gates shoved all in from early position for 65,000 and Debbie Hinton asked for a count before making the call from the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the cards were tabled.
Debbie Hinton:
Garry Gates:
The flop was safe for Gates as his pair of eights were still in the lead but it was the on the turn that paired up Hinton. Gates was unable to catch up on the river and he was ousted from the tournament.
